Hey Chris, I felt that Ed should have started off with some more advanced stuff... The commands he got to in the end should have been at the beginning.

Last summer, I was without a Perl interpreter on a Windows machine and had to come up with a script that would search files for strings, like an SSN. Take a look here, http://www.tssci-security.com/projects/findamatchbat/, it encompasses a lot of the functions that were showcased the other day on the webcast. I was in a situation a couple weeks ago where I just referred back to that script I wrote and was able to come up with the scripts Ed showed in no time.

A site I found extremely useful while I work in cmd.exe, is http://www.ss64.com/nt/

no one wants to blow their whole course on a free web cast and most training shops arent geared towards advanced topics & students even though they say they are. there are also two more webcasts so hopefully they will get more in-depth.
